You can drink next to a campfire while checking out a bear statue. Need I say more? This place is crazy and cool and you will be glad you came in for a drink. Check out the weird dioramas and other junk they have hidden all over. Super secret rope swing upstairs (i hope they still have it!)

It is hard to put Avanti in a category. They have like 6 pop up restaurants inside with a ton of bars to keep you hydrated... :) Their view of downtown is also top notch, so try to get there when the skyline is lit up. If you are in town on the 4th, NYE, or other holidays that have fireworks, you will see them in every direction.
